I think any national push to get us off oil should be multi faceted..."

I can't disagree. But it won't sell. Multi-faceted plans just don't. The last time we went through this, that is what was being pushed. Which is why Reagan bailed out of it as soon as he could.

I hate to say this but this time may be different. It seems to me Reagan was able to pull his stunts because the price of oil came back down in the 1980s. And the reason the price of oil went up in the first place was because of artificial action on the part of OPEC. This time the issue is more of one relating to actual supply and demand.....which suggests the price of oil will not come down as easily.

I also think people are little bit more sophisticated about the issue than they were in the 1980s and will recognize that it will take more than one alternative to get us off oil.
